        "question": "Which airports in Ciudad de México are best to fly into from San Antonio?",
        "answer": "Mexico City's main airport is Benito Juárez International Airport, which handles all direct flights from San Antonio and offers the best access to the city center and major attractions. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport, located north of the city, currently receives very limited U.S. service and is not a practical choice for travelers arriving from San Antonio. For road trips beyond the capital, Benito Juárez provides the most convenient car rental and highway connections."
